Alsace Battleship

Unbuilt proposal.

The French Alsace-class battleships were projected successors to the Richelieu class, studied as France considered the next generation of heavy surface combatants. The defeat of 1940 prevented construction. Alsace belongs to unrealized naval planning rather than a completed French wartime battle fleet. The proposed class formed part of a broader French attempt to respond to developments in foreign battle fleets, particularly in the Mediterranean. Naval design involved trade-offs between guns, speed, protection, and size. The interruption of 1940 prevented those studies from being resolved through construction and service, leaving a family of proposals rather than an operational ship history. Construction never began.
